City Blues - Rose Tattoo

It’s so hot in the city

Makes it hard to stay cool

He was restless out in the suburbs

So he ran away from school

He needed money

To keep the game real

He’s not smart enough for working

So he’s learning how to steal

Thunder and lightning, sweet summer rain

Like the seasons passing, is it all just a game?

Summer sun heats the city

And the warm winds cool the night

Sirens tear at the silence

As night bird takes flight

She came looking for so much.

We wept

While it passed her by

Cause there’s so much more to living

Than just waiting 'round to die

Thunder and lightning, sweet summer rain

Like the seasons passing, is love only pain?

Hear the sounds in the city

She screams and she moans

Love is a bell that rings

Life is a fleeting thing

Once you’ve heard that music play

Magic quickly fades away
